    Well water and am awaiting test results from seller. Pumps are off and winterized. Pool covered. It did rain about an inch the day before I took the sample so maybe that had an influence. I was expecting to see higher numbers due to the chemical bill.

Pump is a Pentair Intelliflo vs pump, pentair boost right pump for the robot, and a Pentair FNS +60. I think I’m pretty happy with that. Took a gallon of water out of the...
